韓国開発のセンサーなど、米国の民間探査機に搭載し来年打ち上げへ=韓国報道
South Korean-developed sensors and other equipment will be installed on a U.S. private spacecraft and will be at a wrap-up party next year = South Korean report
The South Korean Ministry of Science, Technology and Information Communication and the Korea Astronomical Research Institute (hereinafter referred to as the Astronomical Institute) have announced that they have developed a lunar and space environment monitor called LUSEM to be installed on an American unmanned spacecraft, and have begun transporting it to the United States next year.
expressed. LUSEM was developed by the Astronomical Institute in collaboration with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's (NASA) Commercial Lunar Surface Transportation Service (CLPS) program to promote international lunar exploration research.
The Astronomical Institute is developing four types of equipment to be mounted on the spacecraft, and will jointly promote lunar exploration missions. LUSEM is a sensor that can detect high-energy particles of over 50 kiloelectronvolts. earth
Unlike the surface of a sphere, the moon's surface, which lacks the protection of an atmosphere or magnetic field, is exposed to high-energy particles from deep space. High-energy particles can affect the health of astronauts and the function and structure of spacecraft.
It may also affect the structure, strength, etc. Since it will also be used for research on space weathering effects on celestial bodies without an atmosphere, the need for it will be raised for future manned deep space exploration and space research.
It has been done. NASA announced in November 2021 that U.S. aerospace company Intuitive Machines will install LUSEM on the unmanned lunar probe "Nova-C" scheduled for a wrap-up party next year.
represent. "Nova-C" will land in the "Liner Gamma" region of the moon, and will use "LUSEM" to observe the lunar surface topography and local areas, perform collaborative work with autonomous distributed robots, and perform laser reflecting mirrors.
I plan to carry out missions such as placement.
